Nolan works on WHM's cable box under high scrutiny. He cracks a joke about the cable box showing official U.S. time because WHM's house is filled with clocks, like... in a really unnerving way. Dude really loves the clock. Nolan apologizes for any inconvenience the outage might've caused and tries to hightail it out of there, but WHM steps in his path to ask for a business card. He does so in addition to really invading Nolan's personal space bubble. This guy's for real. Nolan completely loses his cool even as he presents a pretty good excuse for not having identification (paperless/green company). Nolan leaves, but he has most certainly aroused suspicion.
Conrad comes home to find Lydia sitting on the couch on the verge of tears. She says she came home to find Victoria on a rampage, tearing up the de Kooning. Lydia goes as far as to claim she tried to stop Lydia, but Conrad has already seen the evidence is missing and he's no longer listening. Victoria left a little card where the evidence stash had been. "Once a fraud, always a fraud. -- Victoria" Conrad leaves Lydia without saying a word.
Emanda arrives home while on the phone with Nolan. She's livid that he betrayed her plan. He figures he did her a favor since now she can gather info on WHM. Their bickering stops when Ems sees Sammy on her porch. He's lying on his side, weak and whimpering. Emanda hangs up with Nolan and dials Jack. He gets the call while he's driving around in his truck. Emanda tells him that Sammy is there. "I can't believe I didn't think to look there," Jack laments. Yeah, for real. Emanda: "Jack, I think you better hurry." She hangs up and goes back to consoling her puppy.

Night at Grayson Manor. It's family therapy time. Conrad enters late in the middle of a game of "I like, but I need." He hops right in, asserting his pride in Daniel assuming his mantel and Charlotte approaching her drug problem head-on. Conrad turns his attention to Victoria and pays her backhanded compliments about liking her sense of self-preservation and the way she challenged him throughout their marriage. What he needs is what she's stolen from him. Victoria smugly responds that she likes that Conrad suspects her, but she needs him to know that Lydia probably betrayed him as well. Charlotte's had enough. She decides her family's all hopeless and the only way out is to leave. Naturally, Victoria blames Conrad's display for Charlotte's setback.
